Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page said he would be limiting the number of earnings conference calls he takes part in as he prioritizes his time.

“I won’t be joining every conference call,” he said, on the company’s earnings conference. “I know you all would love to have me on, but you’re also depending on me to prioritize my time for the benefit of the business.”

Page this year disclosed he had a vocal chord paralysis known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which has limited his ability to speak. His voice on the Thursday conference call was noticeably soft and shaky sounding.
